They can stop a taxi at any moment, but taxi cabs are not permitted to stop anywhere in the center of the center, except at the taxi rank. To find a taxi in the town at certain periods of the day is more difficult than it should be. This includes rush hour, overnight and rain.
A lot of taxi riders switch shift between 16.00 and 17.00, which makes it quite hard to buy a taxi. Tariff system is also complex, but fortunately everything is measured, so there is no dispute about tariffs.
